  • That lead dancer's got some moves. Can see where Beyoncé got her inspiration from.

  • hey it reminds me of beyonces get me bodied i wonder she got that idea from

    

  • That's it.. Who else is planning on breaking out the Frug at the club this weekend?

  • I'm on the weird part of youtube again..

  • Can anyone tell me if fosse danced in this piece ?

  • Ben Vareen has some bad ass moves here. An early piece for him with Bob F. The physical isolation movement, and the most amazing part of that leading dancer is her use of her arms. So fluid!

  • These dances are so awesome.!! The music sounds very "austin powers" like. But a lot of the moves look like the ones done by beyonce and Michael jackson. But this movie is older than them

  • @animefreek141 Actually I'm reading the script for Austin Powers, and it mentions this movie as the inspiration:

    "(PRODUCTION NOTE: ALL TITLE CARDS WILL BE DONE IN TECHNICOLOR  FREEZE FRAMES À LA SWEET CHARITY.)"

  • I love the 60s. They are so cuuute!

  • Hey it all makes since! Michael Jackson copied Fosse's work! Oh wow! Great clip my school is doing this show this weekend, all the high schoolers are pro actors dancers and singers so it looks great!

  • The woman is amazing.

  • The boxing hands around 3:55, where else are they seen? I feel like I have seen them somewhere else, but I simply cannot remember where..

  • @Mathiilde3 i think it's possible you may have seen those boxing hands in ausin powers, not sure which one but i'm sure tha'ts what youre talking about.

  • @dreadheadsubz That could be it, thank you!

  • @Mathiilde3 also, if you've ever seen the movie "Bring it On" -- the toros watch this scene for inspiration for their final routine and replicate the boxing moves done at 3:20 and 3:29

  • Bob Fosse was a genius. This dance is amazing.

  • EPIC

  • Hey! I need your help please. It's about an important charity project for children.

  • OMG, Lady Gaga! The one with the yellow hair! Fancy seeing her :P

  • @dajuanblues, it's called "Rich Man's Frug"

  • Probably one of the most amazing coreographies EVER made!!! Beautiful and great dancers too!

  • The part at 5:05 amazes me, theyre so in sync

  • Anyone else remembered Bring it on? Or was it just me?

  • /watch?v=jbFpuGNgE2s&feature=c­hannel_video_title haha lol <-

  • LOL!! is there NOTHING that Beyonce WON'T copy???!!! :-)

  • Could someone please upload the film on youtube??

  • does anyone know the name of this song?

  • Every movement goes with the vibe music, unique moves... Fosee a genious

  • So Bob Fosse.

  • Beyonce does the same in Get me Bodied! :D

  • @sarahknollbway Yes, do we need to know ?  Ick!!!!

  • Stop! Stop, stop, stop! No more arguing! Everyone who likes the dancing sit back and watch the pretty video and everyone who doesn't, leave. There, problem solved.

  • 1:37

    I can't watch that part without laughing because the guy in the middle reminds me of Dr. Phil.

  • Is this what Emma Bunton's "Maybe" music video is inspired from?

  • @xxsweetxsacrificexx Yes! Also Beyonce's Get Me Bodied and many others. Jody Watley, etc..... the list goes on!  Fosse was the original!

  • @xxsweetxsacrificexx Omg. Who gives a shit ? Could we leave all those acts out of this ? Please

    Every video is being dumbed down these days

  • @sclapione Umm... I was simply asking because I stumbled across this video. I don't understand how a simple question could "dumb down" this video?

  • Beyonce get her video ideas from this.SMH

  • this thing is so ridiculous

    I did a show in my school with this song and we danced it...it was so much better than this!

  • @AmyCraXzzzY

    But...but....it's Fosse.... It's from the 60's and it's very mod-ish which not a lot of people today may like. Plus... IT'S FOSSE! Man was a Genius.

  • @AmyCraXzzzY Well done, you're now greater than Bob Fosse. 

  • @AmyCraXzzzY No it wasn't!

  • @torresongs2 yeah it was...

  • @AmyCraXzzzY Shut up, you tedious little fuck-brat.

  • @JohnnyContagious ahah you just made me laugh. At least, I can take opinions and of course...live in my century

    if you don't like my opinion just fuck off bitch

  • @AmyCraXzzzY I don't like your opinions half as much as I hate your appalling grasp of grammar. Suck my balls, you moronic fragment of cretinous phlegm.

  • @JohnnyContagious NO ONE fucking CARES! go back to where you came from, cunt

  • @AmyCraXzzzY Well, you obviously care enough to keep responding. :-) One question, do you kiss your mother with that mouth? Probably... And your daddy too, I'll bet. Shouldn't you be fucking around on a Glee video, or getting humped by the neighbourhood tramps? Fuck you and yours, Cunthook.

  • @JohnnyContagious I don't really give a damn of what you think...now I can't say the same of you.

    Now get a fucking life and maybe try to make some friends...i mean...REAL FRIENDS...

  • @JohnnyContagious "Shouldn't you be fucking around on a Glee video"

    ha ha ha ha ! *thumbs up* :))))

  • @AmyCraXzzzY "I did a show in my school with this song and we danced it...it was so much better than this!"

    Yes DREAM ON !!!!!!!! It's not for generic soccermom highschool teens. Oh, a TOKIO HOTL fan, too ?

    What are you generic people even DOING on these videos ? Are you having a laugh ?

  • @AmyCraXzzzY So post the video!

  • I always thought those guys in the Aloof looked a lot like Paul McCartney. Anywho, I love this movie!

  • This is one of the most beautiful and outstanding performances ever had been made!

    Bravo!!!

  • SYTYCD brought me here...anyone else???

    I love that this show turns a new generation onto dance and the classics

  • @gonzalesjc Is that another GENERIC rehash ? Please GTFO thanks !!!!

  • I adore this, thank you paulseattle for uploading! x

  • beautiful sexy dancing with out the bump and grind :0D

  • This is great!! It is obvious where the Freemasons got their inspiration for the clip When you touch me. Just love it!!

  • AMAZING.

  • My God, Fosse's choreography is so hypnotic!

  • Is it just me or did anyone else think Lady Gaga came walkin on the set at 00:42??

  • @kat4u2luv thats hilarious lol

  • This is why the economy is the way it is. The rich are far too busy having rich people dance parties with their handouts and tax breaks!

  • I'm so HAPPY I found this after so many years that I had seen the video! It is AMAZING, I also can't get enough of it.

  • @Tigerlily21 - Tiger - I apologize - I spoke on a more global scale. You are more than correct that Coco created the Little Black Dress - but it was this movie and Edith Head that made it the mainstay for housewives across America. Remember that most of their fashion sense came from the movies and stars (at least, up through the mid- 70's) and the forefront of that movement was Edith Head.

    I didn't mean to diminish Coco - only show the distribution of her design.

  • ok, NOW I know where Beyonce got her get me bodied from! :))))

  • @gottabehavingdejavu Awful. Why mention that cheap remake on this video ?

  • This girl gets the fluid hand movements down perfectly. I've seen other people do it after and it just wasn't as great because there's something about that white gloved hand doing those movements fluidly that gives the choreography its shape.

  • this totally rmeinds me of those austin powers dance scenes

  • i want to go to a party where this actually happens....

  • @johandasu LOL!... Don't we all?

    I'd love to be able to dance Fosse style!

  • Bob Fosse's choreography was the first I really noticed and loved. Sweet Charity opened my eyes to the wonders of movie musicals.

  • my mother showed this to me when i was 6 i'am 14 now and i still love it!

  • Notice the brilliance of Edith Head (Costume Designer) in this number - her designs here pioneered the "Little Black Dress" so common today and she showed her talent in this number - every woman is dressed in the exact same little black dress with subtle differences - some are scalloped, some with rhinestones, sometimes with gloves, some with hair... but all the same dress. Brilliance in black!

  • @DFWBrysco sorry you got it wrong sweetie. She did not pioneer the "little black dress" That would be Coco Chanel.

  • My school is doing our production of Sweet Charity, and I'm really looking forward to doing this dance! It's still in progress, but WOW is it going well!

  • I'm a child of the 80's, so can someone tell my why I find this so freakin cool? And no its got nothing to do with Beyonce.

  • Makes you wonder how many times they had to go through the routine until everyone got it right.

  • Sweet Charity (1969 Film Soundtrack) [Cast Recording, Soundtrack]

    Cy Coleman (Artist), Shirley MacLaine (Artist), Sammy Davis Jr. (Artist) | Format: Audio CD

    find at amazon but it's the whole soundtrack.

  • woooooooowwwwwwwww!

  • Bob Fosse was GREAT!!!! :D

  • I wish I could find a recording of THIS VERSION OF RMF only! I can only find the original Verdon Cast recording (too fast), the Fosse recording (too current and not as cool as this one) and the revival of SC cast recording (also too current). Also, none of them have the 3 dance segments. UGH! I wish I could just find a video of this and download it. :(

  • THIS CAME ON LAST NIGHT.!! I WAS MADD HYPE! LOL

  • someone teach me this!!!!!

  • @dash1dash2 that's racist :/ and @chilvari obviously you havent listened to the actually good artists of this generation like florence and the machine, regina spektor, cee lo green, colby callait, jason mraz, stornoway, jack johnson, lily allen, etc. music from years ago is better, but you can't make an assumption that all music created now is trash, because it is far from it

  • @dash1dash2 that's racist :/ and @chilvari obviously you havent listened to the actually good artists of this generation like florence and the machine, regina spektor, cee lo green, colby callait, jason mraz, stornoway, jack johnson, lily allen, etc. music from years ago is better, but you can't make an assumption that all music created now is trash, because it is far from it. just have to stray past americantop40

  • frugging brilliant

  • frugging brilliant

  • Ahh, I see the Gwen Verdon dancing sequence isn't the only Bob Fosse choreographed performance dear old Beyonce got her music video ideas from. [I can't get enough of this video btw, thanks for posting!]

  • this is were Lady Gaga gets her ideas from

  • the most sophisticated dance I ever seen

  • It's a real shame that most people these days don't even know the origins of music, dance and fashion (and they don't bother to find out). They make make fun of the old trends and the older generations but follow religiously and blindly the new generations. Everything and every artist is complete garbage these days yet people think it's original, inspiring and amazing. Not to mention, they all glorify sex, violence and vulgarity. People were actually classy during the golden years.

  • @chilvari

    I blame it all on black and hip hop culture. There's no way the sexification of music has come from elsewhere.

  • @chilvari i agree like lady ga ga patti labelle was doing it years ago

  • @chilvari "Everything and every artist is complete garbage these days." Well that's a gross overgeneralization if I've ever heard one. EVERY single artists and EVERY SINGLE THING is complete garbage these days? Someone's bitter.

  • @KobraCola I stick by most of what I posted but I did exaggerate on the part you mentioned. My views on that have changed since a year ago. Btw, it wasn't bitterness, it was passion. Sometimes people get a bit heated when speaking or posting about something, especially when they come across haters.

  • @chilvari That's fair, definitely was an exaggeration, didn't check when your original comment was posted either. Passion is definitely not a bad thing. FWIW, I experienced almost the exact opposite when I was growing up. I felt like all of my friends went on about The Beatles or The Rolling Stones or all of these great older bands and it was always an uphill struggle for me to convince them that there was greatness in some bands producing in the current era.

  • @KobraCola So they had too much passion? I can definetly relate. I had this thing growing up where I would jump from one pop star to the next and just obsess about them. It finally ended after I got over my obsession with lady gaga last year. And I even went through this phase when I was 16-17 where I wanted to be Asian O.o I finally got a grip on things, especially since I'm growing up (now 21). Sometimes, I feel quite embarrased at my behavior growing up but at least I'm over it :)

  • @chilvari Well, if anything, I would say *I* had too much passion as opposed to them. Not to slight their music tastes, but it seems easier to like The Beatles or The Stones casually than passionately argue for current bands whose legacy in the world of music is much more in flux. And I feel like everyone has been embarrassed about their behavior growing up; at least at SOME point in their adolescent phase they did SOMEthing stupid.

  • @KobraCola But yeah, passion is a good thing, just not too much. I've learned to keep myself grounded lol xD

  • This is brilliant! I saw this movie for the first time today when it came on retroplex (tcm; turner classic movies). The music and dancer numbers are genius! People don't do dance, music and fashion like they did during the classical era of Hollywood cinema and Broadway. And everyone these days almost always reference classic styles in their music or videos (Beyonce did some of these dance moves in a few of her videos; Madonna copied Marilyn Monroe; everyone else basically copies Madonna).

  • ...and Cy Coleman is a genius. Nobody can move down a tone more cleverly.

  • Bob Fosse, George Balanchine, Pina Bausch, Kenneth Macmillan, in that order!!

  • My all time favorite dance...I call it the "Cool Chicken Dance"

  • that was f'n awesome!

  • ohhhhhhhhhhh this is exquisite.

  • BOB FOSSEE you are and always will be a legend.

  • i LOVE the choreography!!!! its amazing who would of thought of this?

  • Pour vous pepper...C'est vendredi!

  • Pour vous pepper...C'est Vendredi!!!!

  • dance is wonderful. music is awful-was bad even for the time with what was happening in jazz and rock and even pop. never makes up its mind. has that 'tv soundtrack' sound. the lead dancer is great. others of course too.

  • BEST CHOREOGRAPHY OF ALL TIME

  • Love this!! So timeless!

  • AAAAHHHH I can't get enough of this video. The dancers move so fluidly, they're sexy and slinky yet laid back and so utterly cool. I love Bob Fosse.

  • what's the name of the track...??

  • The title of this movie is Sweet Charity?

  • @FreakyLynx yes

  • @meganlevegan I shall have to pick it up and give it a viewing then ^.^

  • This is timeless

  • I love Sweet Charity and the 60's! A lot of present day kids think this is silly, but I see a lot of them copying this "Retro" style. We had a lot of fun back then! (And I was only a kid).

  • never knew THIS was Beyonce's inspiration 4 Get Me Bodied... and the fact that she stuck with the entire thing!

  • the chick is pretty hot. there's just something sexy about her and the way she moves her body and arms

  • Get Me Bodied!!! Beyonce has great taste if your going to "borrow" you may as well take from the BEST!

  • coooooool !!!

  • beautiful... but, check out my song of hope that my brother and I made up, truly heartbreaking. Sure to bring a tear to your eye -PS

  • Mm! mm mm mm. can't help but move to the beat when this is playing lol :D

  • fosse was a genius!!

  • I've always loved this part of Sweet Charity, especially "The Aloof". I can see why Beyonce wanted to do someting like this for a music video. The whole thing is awesome, and it introduces young people to Fosse, I bet a whole lot of kids looked this up after they saw Beyonce's video.

  • @rey0girl Don't junk this up with average mainstream pop icons

  • @ChaChinnngK

    hm...ok then. Someone sounds bitter...

  • emma bunton did a brilliant homage to this in the maybe video, its where i first got to know about bob fossee

  • @playbic15 Omg shut up

  • This looks so messed up!

  • Many moves from this dance were adopted by Beyonce in her video clip for B'day. The entrance of this scene is also exactly the same! Love it!

  • @POTCLEH You shut up too Who the fuck cares about fucking BEYONCE'S edition ?

    Please keep that to mainstream pop video's THANKS A BUNCH !!!!!!!!!

  • @ChaChinnngK Jeesh! Relax! I didnt say this eddition was bad. I prefer this one too! I just made a statement of what I noticed!

    !!!!

  • awesome... but so random

  • Check out how VJTOMYAZ put this clip to the B52's Dancing Now from their last album Funplex. Its amazing and it does make the dance routine look absolutely straight from today's videos

    youtube.com/watch?v=w5sDXSHSh6­Y

  • Pretty awesome!

  • looks corny these days.

  • This is one of the sexiest things ever!

  • I played in the orchestra for this show and it was probably the most fun Ive ever had

  • Get Me Bodied - Beyoncé!!!

  • This is the most entertaining thing I've seen all week :)

  • Watching this, you can see why Liza Minnelli calls Fosse's choreography "so deceptively easy".

  • Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!!

  • I LOVE mp3iiiiify it WORKS just google mp3iiiiify.

  • the best way to download this mp3 from youtube is to google mp3iiffy.

  • Beyonce screwed this up big time.

  • Who's the woman with the dark long ponytail?

  • Suzanne Charney

  • what a great number, KID! miss you Bob!

  • this dancing is great

  • Bob Fosse's style is so vivid and adictive, I just can't get enough of this atmosphere!

  • love how beyonce tributed this in get me bodied... but nothing is better than the original. These guys with the cigarettes surely have amazing style ^^

  • It is odd how smoking was championed in 'those' days. I wonder how actually eventually passed away from lung cancer in later life?

    I have this part of the soundtrack on disk and played it at work, my younger colleague thought I was nuts.

  • What great fun!

  • OMG Fosse!! I love it... I remember seeing this movie when I was younger...

  • i love boxing part

  • You cant beat the original..

  • emma bunton video 'maybe' remake this and it's so good

  • Emma did not seem to have enough budget to hire half-decent dancers though.

  • funny penguin walk

  • I. miss. the. Sixties.

  • wow that was just awesome!! this is where beyonce got the inspiration for her Get Me Bodied video haha!!

  • That was pretty f'n awesome.

  • Bob Fosse was an amazing choreograher and this number proves it...love it.

  • I LOVE THIS MUSICAL this part is amazing!<3

  • Omg 60s dancing needs to come back that was sooo friggn kool

  • 5:20 , She does the ONLY KNOCK-KNEED PONYTAIL SWING OF LIFE!!!!

  • super!!!

  • can see where they stole the idea from the song "when you touch me" now!
